  Up for Auction is my 1983 Hurst Olds. This car is completely original except for a full Flowmaster exhaust system. Sounds really good by the way. Yes the pictures are correct...10,397 documented miles. This car has only been titled twice making me the second owner. I bought it from a collector car dealer who purchased it from another collector who purchased it from the original owner. But, it has only been titled twice. Once by the original owner and then by me. This car has every option offered in 1983 except a power antenna. It is equipped with power steering, power door locks, 6 way power drivers seat, tilt steering, remote drivers mirror, cruise control, intermittent wipers, rear window defrost, power trunk release, quartz clock and air conditioning. The A/C has been updated to R134. Blows cold but needs to be charged. I also have the original Goodyear Eagle GT tires. They are in perfect condition with 50% tread left on them. The original owner purchased a full size correct Hurst Olds wheel and had a new Eagle GT tire mounted on it. It has never been mounted on the car and is still brand new. Everything works as it should with the exception of the A/C. I will charge it for the purchaser if so desired. I did charge it a couple of years ago but it has been in storage since 2011 and does need it again. 

  The car runs and drives perfect. The glass tops do not leak...at least when I wash it. I do have the Glass Top covers that came with the car. The Body by Fisher logo is embossed in both covers. I realized at the time of listing that I didn't take any pictures of those. Will add those pictures. I have never driven it in rain. All weatherstripping is in good condition. There is a little wind noise going down the highway but that was pretty common for cars in the 80's. Absolutely no rust whatsoever, anywhere! The lacquer paint has the typical checking on part of the hood and on top of the front quarter panels. The roof behind the T-Tops is the same way. None of it is too bad but it can be seen if you are standing next to the car. And you need to be looking for it. Overall the paint is in excellent condition considering it is 30 years old. 
  The Oldsmobile Emblem on the drivers side front quarter panel is a security system. From what I have been able to find out about the car this was a dealer installed option. I have never been able to get any documents explaining if it was installed by Oldsmobile or by Hurst. 
  I also have the original window sticker, all the brochures for the car including the instruction manual for the Lightning Rod Shifters. Also forgot to get pictures of those but will add them to the listing. 
  Now for the reason I am selling it. I have owned it for 8 years and do not have time to enjoy it anymore. My interests have changed a bit. I am NOT selling the car because I need the money. I know what the car is worth and WILL NOT let it go for anything less. The reserve is set for what I want for the car. NO EXCEPTIONS!!! I will try to answer any questions every evening. I do not have time during the day to look at any emails or messages. You are welcome and encouraged to inspect the car prior to bidding but this needs to be arranged with me because the car is in storage and I will have to make arrangements to get to it. Thanks for looking and Happy Bidding!

eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

If you have a need to relive the 1970s, then here is the vehicle for you. This groovy blast from the past is a 1976 GMC Motorhome currently for auction in Florida on eBay Motors, and it is one green machine - just not in the modern sense.
The seller claims that this beast has had just two owners and has covered a mere 61,308 miles in its decades on the road. It's reportedly never been restored or repainted and comes with all of the necessary books and manuals. A 7.5-liter (455-cubic-inch) Oldsmobile V8 with a three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission powering the front wheels propels this far-out RV, and the double set of rear wheels out back use a self-leveling air suspension to provide a cushy ride.
The purported low miles and good condition really make this GMC a stand out, though. The exterior combination of lime stripes and beige with just a touch of green is like nothing else on the road today. Plus, the polished bumpers and wheels make it all pop. Inside, it's even better with monochromatic green upholstery and shag carpet. It features everything you'd ever need on a long trip, including a bathroom, kitchenette and lots of seating. The only hint of modernization is an HD TV next to the stove, but its size is a perfect fit for the hole there.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.

Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

Ever since Gran Turismo 4, Jay Leno has had at least one of his cars included in the popular racing simulator (starting with the Tank Car), and more of his machines appears in Gran Turismo 6. They include this nose-heavy, front-wheel-drive V8-powered muscle car. Yes, that aptly describes a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado - except Leno's is rear-wheel drive. And it has a Cadillac CTS-V race engine modified to pump out 1,070 horsepower.
For the latest Jay Leno's Garage episode, he takes his real Toronado out for a cruise and then drives the virtual one like he stole it, accruing some body damage along the way. Leno also drives the virtual supercar Mercedes-Benz designed for GT6, the AMG Vision Gran Turismo Concept that debuted at the LA Auto Show, along with the real one, which is a 1:1-scale model. The model is radio-controlled and equipped with a small electric motor, sufficient to move it on and off of auto show floors.
Head below to watch the episode, which includes a few words from GT6 creator Kazunori Yamauchi.
